Looks decent, a bit too yellow for my taste. But you sure need to brush up on those photo skills and take a photo of........oh I don't know......the whole car? lol

just took some quick shots but will be taking more pics when car is complete. I don't know why, but ive seen cars on the internet and in person with the satin pearl white and they don't look as yellow.. but when you look at below color palette, the satin pearl white matches up with mine..i heard 3m produces their satin pearl white at different locations and they have had problems with tone inconsistency with the pearl white. they had to stop production for a while to fix it..





this one came out kind of like mine:






but this one has less of a yellow to it:

Got my side mirrors and door handles wrapped.. The place that did it had an excellent price and did a phenomenal job.. Love how the mirrors came out.. They took off my door handles also to apply wrap ( which is a PITA if you ever tried removing) No wrinkles or bubbles.

Will have to clean car this Friday but here's a quick shot..i agree, car looks so much better now..

Glad you got the mirrors and handles wrapped.

IMO, you've just got a lot going on w/your car color-wise:

White
Black (handles + mirrors)
Blue (interior)
Red (lugnuts)
Gold (wheels)
Amber (headlights)
Clear (side markers)

Honestly, I say go back to stock amber side markers to tie them into the headlights. Ditch the red lug nuts for something less noticeable, like black, or blue if you must (though they'll look out of place when the top is up.)

PS- it took me a while to realize your pictures were so horrible because you're trying to hide your plate. Lol. Just hold your thumb up next time if you must.
